Definitions
- the present invention relates to a master alloy, particularly for use in making beta Titanium-molybdenum alloys, and methods of making of such master alloys.
- Titanium-containing alloys find a broad range of applications in areas where low weight and strength are required, such as aerospace and military uses, as well as corrosion resistance and heat applications, including use in turbine blade et engine pats, high speed cutting tools, and so on.
- Molybdenum is known to be difficult to diffuse uniformly in titanium, because of its higher melting point and higher density, which causes molybdenum-rich particles to drop to the bottom of a molten titanium pool where they sinter into agglomerates and form inclusions in the ingot produced. See, e.g.. U.S. Patent No. 3,508,910.
- the same problems of getting molybdenum to homogenize with titanium are also experienced with columbium, which like molybdenum, is also highly refractory.
- Another object of the invention is to provide columbium/molybdenum/titanium alloys which may be readily formulated to be substantially free of columbium inclusions.
- Still another object of the invention is to produce an alloy having relatively low aluminum.
- a thermite for use in preparing a Ti master alloy having low aluminum is produced, the master alloy comprising a predominant amount of Mo, and lesser amounts of Cb, Al, Si, O 2 , C, N 2 , and Ti.
- the master alloy comprises about 55-65% Mo, 6-16% Cb, 5-15% Al, 0.1-5% Si, 0-1 % O 2 , 0-1 % C, 0-1 % N 2 and balance Ti.
- a master alloy is an alloy selected elements that can be added to a charge of metal to provide a desired composition or texture or to deoxidize one or more component of the mixture.
- an intermetallic compound is first prepared using thermite processing.
- Thermite processing involves an exothermic reaction which occurs when finely divided aluminum mixed with metal oxides is ignited, causing reduction of the oxide and reaching temperatures of about 2200°C, sufficient to propagate heat through the charge to homogenize the components comprising the resulting intermetallic compounds.
- a simple thermite process uses a mixture of powdered iron (III) oxide, Fe 2 0 3 and powdered or granular aluminum.
- oxides of metals other than iron may be used, as discussed herein, and mixtures of these oxides may likewise be used.
- the mixed thermite components are charged to a furnace, typically a water-cooled, copper, below-ground reaction vessel, such as that described in "Metallothermic Reduction of Oxides in Water-Cooled Copper Furnaces," by F. H. Perfect, Transactions of the Metallurgical Society of AIME, Volume 239, August 1967, pp. 1282-1286. See Also U.S. Patent No. 4,104,059, incorporated by reference herein.
- the mixture is thoroughly and intimately mixed prior to being charged to the furnace so the thermite reaction will occur rapidly and uniformly throughout the charge on ignition.
- the reaction vessel is preferably covered after the mixture is charged and the pressure within the vessel may be reduced, for example, to about 9.3 mm Hg or less, followed by flooding the vessel with a high purity inert gas such as argon. Such evacuation and purging results in thermites of higher purity, lower nitrogen content.
- the thermite reaction is initiated with an igniter and allowed to proceed to completion. After the thermite is prepared using thermite processing, it is cooled and size reduced to powdered from using known methods, such as crushers, ball mills, pug mills, grinder, hydriding, etc.
- the intermetallic compound produced by the thermite process is then mixed with at least one additional metal in powdered form, for example, Ti, to form a substantially uniform mixture.
- the resulting mixture is then pressed into a compact or briquetted with application of pressures of over about 7,000 psi and preferably of about 15,000-30,000 psi.
- such compacts are formed using an isostatic press.
- the compacts or briquets are then heated, preferably with induction heat, to form the desired master alloy by fusion.
- No special pressure conditions are required for the fusion, which is generally carried out at atmospheric or a milli or pressure and temperatures of about 600-l,700,°C, depending on the optimal fusion temperature of the compact.
- a master alloy for use in preparing a Ti (Beta 21S) alloy having low aluminum (i.e., less than about 10% by weight aluminum) is prepared, comprising about 55-65% Mo, 6-16% Cb, 5-15% Al, 0.1-5% Al, 0.1-5%, Si, 0-1 % O 2 , 0-1 %C, 0-1 % N 2 and balance Ti.
- the intermetallic compound Al 3 Cb is produced, by mixing powdered aluminum fines with Cb 2 0 5 powder and at least one oxide, such as Fe 2 O 3 or SiO 2 . This thermite is then size reduced and mixed with powdered components, such as Mo and Ti, then compacted and fused.
- the master alloy so produced comprises about 60% Mo, 11 % Cb, 10% or less al, 0.4% or less Si, 0.25% or less O 2 , 0.02% or less C, 0-0.03% or less N 2 and balance Ti. Unless otherwise specifically noted, all percentages set forth herein refer to weight percent.
- the resulting alloy may be hydrided to produce an end product in size reduced form, as is known.
- the master alloy is prepared as specified previously, then size reduced and mixed with sufficient Ti to yield a mixture, which upon compaction and meltmg yields an alloy comprising about 70-85% Ti, 10-20% Mo, 1-8% Al, 1-8% Cb, 0-1 % Si, 0-1% Qz and 0-1% Fe. (Beta 21S type alloy.)
- Al 3 Cb was produced using thermite processing as previously described.
- Si, 0.015% C, 0.032% 0 2 , 0.004% S and 0.001% N 2 was prepared via thermite processing as previously described and crushed to -50 x 200 mesh and mixed dry for five minutes with 15 pounds of -100 mesh Mo and 5.25 pounds of -100 x 325 mesh Ti. After five minutes of dry mixing, 65 ml of alcohol was added and the mixture was remixed for 15 minutes. The mixture was then packed into a CIP bag and isostatically pressed at 25,000 psi to produce a 25.75 lb. compact 4.25" dia. x 10.75". The resulting compact was placed in a 200 lb. induction furnace graphite crucible and covered with a graphite lid, then purged with argon. The compact was heated to about 16007°C for about 15 minutes. The argon flow was maintained while the fused compact cooled. The resulting master alloy was fully alloyed, was cleaned and crushed to -20 mesh, and analyzed as follows:
